Ah, the random movies i pick for these reviews.
i went on Netflix and chose the first suggested for me that I've yet to see (which took about 7 or 8 movies to get to) and i ended up with....Dirty Girl...the Juno temple vehicle about Juno temple...err i mean, a Dirty girl.
she's naked or a lesbian in every movie...its like her trademark.
except this movie. it was decent, again nothing too special, just another Indie dramedy.
MOVIE REVIEW: Dirty Girl
Pros:
the movie had some decent acting out of Juno Temple and...um...fat gay guy? I don't know the actor's name, never seen him before. but the two of them did a pretty good job with the roles, especially as the subject matter got darker. I was surprised that the writer went as dark as he did. That being said it was nice to see a rather shallow movie tackle some darker issues.
Cons:
well like i said, it was a rather shallow movie. with a name like Dirty Girl you cant expect much, but it was enjoyable and fun, not the wanton sex romp that the name implies but it had its fair share of 'young teenager swearing for no reason' all the way through. also some of the writing on the non main characters was pretty weak. this is the 70's and people are able to hop on planes and arrive in California withing a few hours? might just be me but that seems far-fetched.
Cast:
i already mentioned Juno Temple and Fat Gay Guy, they did decent. But everyone else was a cash check. they all were just there to get a paycheck and head off to their next job. they were all so minor that i can barely remember them. the only stand out was Dwight yoakam as the Fat Gay Guy's dad, he was menacing.
Writing:
Pretty run of the mill, nothing you haven't seen before, some of the dialogue from Juno Temple was witty and the use of the Flour sack as a narrator was kinda funny. otherwise there wasn't much to make this stand out.
Final Verdict: 55
nothing special, just another indie dramedy. better than some but it's nothing to go out of your way to see. if you expect to see Juno Temple having tons of sex, don't bother, there's more penises than female nudity
